摘要:
An RF device comprising a plurality of drift tubes, each drift tube having a plurality of gaps defining resonant cavities, is immersed in an axial magnetic field. RF energy is introduced at an input RF port at one of these resonant cavities and collected at an output RF port at a different RF cavity. A plurality of electron beams passes through these drift tubes, and each electron beam has an individual magnetic shaping applied which enables confined beam transport through the drift tubes.

摘要:
In an electron gun having a control grid in contact with the face of the cathode, unwanted thermionic emission from the cathode can be effectively suppressed by applying a thin (1 micron) coating of boron nitride to the surface of the control grid. The boron nitride has low thermionic emission itself and, in addition, has an unusual ability to shed or eliminate any deposits of emissive material such as barium or its oxides which come in contact with the boron nitride layer. For optimum performance and longest lifetime, the boron nitride layer is applied over a pyrolytic graphite layer which may be the conductive grid itself.
